hw do i find 3 side of triangle ... in simple code.... i been crunking my head...
i did find some web and try ... but still can't nid some help wif it ~.... using drawLine

import java.awt.*;

public class MyTriangle implements Myshape
{
	protected int height;
	protected int width;
	protected Color color;
	public MyTriangle(int width, int height, Color color)
	{
		this.height = height;
		this.width= width;
		this.color= color;
		
		
	}
	public void drawMe(Graphics g, Point location)
	{
		g.setColor(color);
		g.drawLine((int) location.getX(), (int) location.getY(), width, height);
		
					
 }
}

First off, getX() and getY() both return doubles, so just use location.x and location.y : )

For a triangle with a flat horizontal base and the 3rd point being above the middle of the base line, your 3 points are going to be:

		location (this will be your first point);
		Point point2 = new Point(location.x+width,location.y);
		Point point3 = new Point(location.x+(width/2),location.y -height);

Just connect the points to each other and you have a triangle.

		Point point2 = new Point(location.x+width,location.y);
		Point point3 = new Point(location.x+(width/2),location.y - height);
		g.drawLine(location.x,location.y,point2.x,point2.y);
		g.drawLine(location.x,location.y,point3.x,point3.y);
		g.drawLine(point2.x,point2.y,point3.x,point3.y);

That should work
I don't have any experience with Java2D and havn't tested that code but thats just how I'd go about it

So to add that into your code I do believe it would be:

import java.awt.*;

public class MyTriangle
{
	protected int height;
	protected int width;
	protected Color color;
	public MyTriangle(int width, int height, Color color)
	{
		this.height = height;
		this.width= width;
		this.color= color;
		
		
	}
	public void drawMe(Graphics g, Point location)
	{
		g.setColor(color);
		Point point2 = new Point(location.x+width,location.y);
		Point point3 = new Point(location.x+(width/2),location.y - height);
		g.drawLine(location.x,location.y,point2.x,point2.y);
		g.drawLine(location.x,location.y,point3.x,point3.y);
		g.drawLine(point2.x,point2.y,point3.x,point3.y);
					
	}
}

This is the best part of answering questions on here, LEARNING and TEACHING at the same time : )


Alright, and so now to actually make use of that code

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Point;

public class TriangleApplet extends Applet 
{
	MyTriangle mt = new MyTriangle(50,70,Color.ORANGE);
	public void paint (Graphics g)
	{
		mt.drawMe(g, new Point(100,140));
	}
}
